Python in debug version?

Hi, all
I view my python 2.3.4 from python.org by VC6's dependency walker tool.
What suprise me is that python.exe and python32.dll are built into *DEBUG*
version.
Is it intend to do so?Is a release version faster?

No, that means to this file are debug symbols available in python.pdb.
It's possible to compile a release version with debug symbols to get more
infos if something crash's.
